[Nicaragua] Updates!

Nicaragua Centro Promocional Cristiano

Objectives: To develop sustainable long-term financial plans and microfinance models to support a medical clinic in Nicaragua

Updates!! Since our group first met in February, we have been communicating with the clinic in Nicaragua and formulating our deliverables. After a preliminary investigation into the clinic's financial and operational functions, our group identified two main objectives. First, to help find sources of grants or loans to help the clinic survive financially. Second, to research and analyze succesful clinics (best practices) that are sustainable and employ the social model of medicine in order to serve as guidance for the CPC clinic. With the presentation of these two deliverables, we hope that the CPC clinic will be able to make sound decisions with the goal of becoming a sustainable clinic that serves the under-privileged.
